An understanding of the three realities (physical, perceived, and represented) enables us to make sense of concepts encountered in everyday life, in a negotiation, observing a physical phenomenon, a sports competition, biology, psychology or architecture.
Why is it that, in a cathedral, if we take notice, we can see curved pillars whereas we know that they have been built straight and that is taking a photo we can see another curve?

According to individuals, eras, civilizations, these three realities have co-existed in a balanced way or not, evolving at different rates.

What is happening at the present time?

What kind of reaction does postmodern man have, faced with antiquated institutions inherited from modernity: trade unions, political parties, fellowships, religions, academies, old schools? How can we account for absenteeism at elections, the disaffection of institutional arts, the development of tribes, huge drinks parties, raves, Hip Hop where we dance on our head?

This book involves us in a multiple and decompartmentalized approach to the world.
